Elucidating the details of the formation, stability, interactions, and reactivity of biomolecular
systems under extreme environmental conditions, including high salt concentrations in …

Abstract Thinking about water is inextricably linked to hydrogen bonds, which are highly
directional in character and determine the unique structure of water, in particular its …

The properties of water at interfaces have long been known to differ from those of bulk water
in many distinctive ways. More recently, specific confinement effects different from mere …

Water under nanoconfinement at ambient conditions has exhibited low-dimensional ice
formation and liquid–solid phase transitions, but with structural and dynamical signatures …

Despite its ubiquitous nature, the atomic structure of water in its liquid state is still
controversially debated. We use a combination of X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy in …

While bright terahertz sources are used to perform nonlinear experiments, they can be
advantageous for high-precision linear measurements of opaque samples. By placing the …

Supercritical water provides distinctly different solvation properties compared to what is
known from liquid water. Despite its prevalence deep in the Earth's crust and its role in …

Water structure modification by carbohydrates is essential both in chemistry and life
processes and in particular, molecular level interaction of glucose with water is very …

Solvation in supercritical water features fascinating properties such as the selective
dissolution or precipitation of non-polar versus polar species. This is known since long to …

Water has a fundamental role in important processes spanning a wide range of pressure
and temperature conditions. Knowledge of structural, dynamic and thermodynamic …
